Peter Haynes BDS
Dr Peter Haynes BDS (London)

Peter Haynes is co-owner of the practice with Luke Lucas. Peter qualified in 1970 and his first job was here working at the dental practice with Tom Mead in August 1970. Tom had established the practice on this site in 1958. Tom and Peter worked togther for 13 years until Tom retired and Peter took over the practice in 1983. In all, Peter has been a practising dentist for 38 years and has a wealth of experience in dentistry. There is not an oral health problem that he hasn't seen or treated! Peter continually develops his dental practice and started doing implants in 2002 - since then he has placed hundreds. In his 38 years in general dental practice, Peter has seen a shift away form the fitting of dentures and now rarely has to fit false teeth. Many of our patients have been with us since the beginning and we are proud to say nearly all of them keep their teeth for life.
